Queens Park Community School is a popular, oversubscribed, inclusive and diverse mixed 11-19 community school of more than 1300 students. We are a centre of academic excellence for the whole community, with the highest expectations for all our students.

At Queens Park Community School we know that our community shapes who we are.  All members of our school community are expected to be kind, respectful and resilient.  Our students’ success is built on our ethos of high expectations for all; being community-minded; and being fair to ourselves and to others.  Fairness encompasses equality, justice, liberty and democracy.  Being community-minded involves social responsibility, co-operation and solidarity.

Staff love working at the school. Most staff have been with us for many years.  Others have returned to us after periods of working abroad or in other schools.

We also have staff joining us at all stages of their careers and they are welcomed and quickly feel part of the Queens Park family.

QPCS ethos is summed up by our vision statement based on our initials: Quality, Progress, Creativity and Success. QPCS is a successful school, rated good by Ofsted in 2019.

We are looking for enthusiastic people who have aspirations to be teachers. If you would like to gain experience in working within a secondary school and have the opportunity to do the school direct course in future there are Teaching Assistants posts available. The Teaching Assistants will join an experienced Learning Support Faculty and support students in a core subject up to GCSE and possibly at A Level. The successful applicants must have a specialism in at least one of the core subjects.

We are looking for applicants who have the ability to relate well to our students, staff and parents and work constructively as part of a team. You will be keen to work with students with special educational needs and disabilities. You will need to be flexible, organised and have a good sense of humour.

Values and vision

  • Quality teaching and learning is at the heart of Queens Park Community School. We don't select our students, but we do select our staff. Experts in their subjects, our teachers care about every student, and they inspire and motivate our students to learn and achieve.
  • It is not about where you come from; it is where you are going to that counts. Our high expectations are underpinned by first-class teaching in mixed-attainment groups, challenging and supporting every one of our students to progress towards their life goals.
  • Our emphasis on creativity enables Queens Park students to flourish. They have the freedom to express themselves thanks to our strong academic, cultural, artistic and sporting curriculum with excellent enrichment.
  • Our students experience success. They are challenged to achieve their aspirations. When they leave us to go on to university, jobs or apprenticeships, they are proud to say "QPCS made me who I am." They come back and share their success, inspiring the next generation and building our community.

Ofsted report

“Members of the governing body are experienced and highly skilled… Their primary concern was to achieve academy status while continuing to secure the support of staff, parents and the wider community. Their determination to succeed, together with their collegiate and open leadership style, ensured that the transition was seamless. They continue to appropriately challenge school leaders about the ethos and quality of education provided by the school. They are very aspirational and, as a result, there is a continuing programme of improvement.”
